Indian River Lagoon is in the background of this image. The lagoon is one of the largest lagoons on the east coast of Florida and is prime habitat for Snook and Tarpon. The lagoon waters are estuarine. This image shows Brazilian Pepper stumps to the right of the volunteer's feet. Once the pepper bushes have been cut an herbicide will be applied to kill the bush.
